LOS ANGELES COUNTY - The South Coast Air Quality Management District said the air quality Thursday will be unhealthy for certain individuals in the West San Gabriel and East San Fernando Valleys.

Los Angeles County Health Officer and Public Health Director Jonathan Fielding advised people with heart disease, asthma or other respiratory disease to minimize outdoor activities.

Schools that have children with sensitive conditions, including heart disease, asthma and other chronic respiratory diseases, should not participate in PE or outdoor physical activity and should stay indoors as much as possible.
